Aare Energie AG: carve-out in a single step thanks to SNP methodology
Aare Energie AGThe Challenge
During the carve-out project at Aare Energie AG, the master and transaction data had to be copied from the existing SAP system into a new SAP system, including all historical data for the business unit to be carved out. The data transformation also involved the migration of archive documents. The plan was to create the new SAP landscape by copying the existing production system. Deleting the copied data in the source system was not planned in the first step.
Our collaboration with Aare Energie AG & the resulting Benefits
Only SNP was able to perform this carve-out in a single step at the table level. SAP standard methods could not have achieved it.
In the first step, we mapped the business unit affected by the carve-out as a new company code. We then created a system copy of the existing SAP system and imported the current data selectively in the course of a migration project. In addition, prior to the migration, we examined the future use of the upstream and downstream systems required for operation together with the responsible IT staff of Aare Energie. About 500,000 archive documents were also migrated as part of the data transformation.
